Note 6. FIRST TIME APPLICANTS
New applicants will not get their operator’s licence until a Basic Disclosure has been received
and then attended an interview with an enforcement officer to discuss how you plan to run
your business. Basic Disclosure applications are usually processed and the disclosure record
despatched within 14 calendar days of receipt of a correctly completed application, provided
no further enquiries are required. You have to apply for the check and submit the disclosure
certificate with the application.
Note 8 explains more about the Basic Disclosure check:
 what to do BEFORE you submit your operator application form to us, and
 what you must hand in to us WITH your application form.
Note 7. RENEWING AN EXISTING LICENCE
You should submit a complete renewal application at least six weeks before your operating
licence runs out.
A complete application is required before expiry of the current licence to be eligible to
continue to operate. If you submit an incomplete application (see Note 4) you may lose your
entitlement to operate private hire vehicles.
Note 8. CRIMINAL RECORD CHECKS
All new and some renewal applicants need to provide a Basic Criminal Record Disclosure from
Disclosure Scotland. Renewal applicants need a Basic Disclosure every third year. Contact
Licensing if you need to check if your renewal requires a disclosure.
Contact Disclosure Scotland to obtain a Basic Disclosure which you must hand in with this
application form.
You will need to select the option to apply for a disclosure in your own name.
Contact

 Information from a utility bill (gas, electric or telephone) at your home address.

form, submit the operator application anyway and indicate when you made your disclosure
application to Disclosure Scotland
